Product Description

Guiding your child through the teenage years can be an exciting, challenging, and often perilous adventure.

Dr. Ross Campbell believes that parents experience their greatest difficulties at this stage because they are unable to relate to their teens. He states that parents often harbor misconceptions about disappointment. To complicate things further, parents who deeply love their teens don't always express that love in ways that make their teens feel loved and accepted.

In How to Really Love Your Teenager, Dr. Campbell offers ideas to helpyou create a solid, balanced approach for relating to your teenager. The skills you learn in this book will help you:

• communicate unconditional love
• handle teenage aner . . . as well as your own
• deal with adolescent depression
• help your teenager grow spiritually and intellectually

Applying Dr. Campbell's wise instruction will help you and your teen move closer together. You may even be surprised at how exciting and fulfilling it can be to really love your teenager.

This best-selling book, originally published in 1981, has now been updated and expanded with new information on dealing with anger, attention deficit disorder, and spiritual nurturing.

Ross Campbell, M.D., is Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine. He is also the director of the Southeastern Counseling Center in Chattanooga, where he has a psychiatric practice. His other books include the best-selling How to Really Love Your Child. Dr. Campbell and his wife Pat have four grown children.

A life-rope to parents experiencing difficulties with their teenager. A practical, easy-to-read, "book of hope".

5.0 out of 5 stars Small Book with a Huge Impact, June 6, 2000

By A Customer

This book has had a profound effect upon our home life. My son was diagnosed with depression several years ago and nothing seemed to be helping at home. Since reading this book and applying Dr.Campbell's suggestions for physical contact, eye contact, communicating anger constructively, and consequences, there has been an unbelievable change in the relationship with our son. I wish that I had found this book sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hope in a paperback, April 19, 2000

By A Customer

This book spoke volumes to me as I raise my older teenagers. With practical suggestions based on sound biblical teaching, this is a Godsend for any parent. The chapters on parental self control and dealing with teenage anger were especially constructive. The hope which permeates this book is that parents can make an enormous, life-changing difference in their child's life regardless of the outside influences. Highly recommend this book and only wish I had read it years ago.
